Jade Dragon Swordsman
Heading to the elves
Nien Chu fell silent and stared at the diagram in his hand, and suddenly the diagram let out a bright light that made Nien Chu very surprised.
"Tok..tok...tok..," the sound of the door on the knock from outside.
Nien Chu hurriedly hid the diagram that was on him, then stepped towards the door to open it.
"Zhurui come in" said Nien Chu as he saw his best friend standing at the door.
Zhurui then went into Nien Chu's room, then sat down on a chair as well as Nien Chu, who did the same.
"What did the academy chief tell you?" ask Zhurui.
"The head of the academy just asked me how I got the strength I have right now," Nien Chu replied.
Nien Chu remembered the glowing diagram after Zhurui's arrival to his room, so Nien Chu was very curious about the young man who was nearby.
"Why are you looking at me like that Nien Chu?" asked Zhurui who was very uncomfortable in such a face by Nien Chu.
"We are friends, I want to ask you something and you must honestly answer it" Nien Chu said with seriousness on his face.
The seriousness of Nien Chu made Zhurui feel astonished, it was unusual for Nien Chu to be that serious about him.
"Tell me what you want to say" Zhurui replied.
"Zhurui I wonder if on your right arm there is a symbol, which has been there since you were a child?" asked Nien Chu.
Zhurui was silent for a moment, as Nien Chu's question made him question even more.
"Is this symbol what you mean!!" zhurui replied as he waved the cloth covering his right arm.
"That's exactly what I'm looking for from you, a cultivator who has a symbol on his right arm. I can't believe the one with the symbol is my best friend" Nien Chu said, patting Zhurui on the shoulder.
Nien Chu smiled looking at the lightning symbol that was on Zhurui's right arm, and wanted to immediately snatch his best friend into the group he was going to make.
Shortly thereafter Nien Chu told him everything he knew about the rise of the demon lord, and the followers of the ancient demon god, so that this peaceful world would be disturbed by his presence.
Zhurui, who had been silent, spoke up.
"I don't actually believe it, but since you said it, I'll believe it" Zhurui said.
Zhurui then dripped his blood over the diagram until it was active, and removed the symbol of Zhurui's existence.
"You have been recognized by this diagram as a member of the demon exterminator group I formed, and I want you to help me find 8 more cultivators who have god symbols on their bodies" said Nien Chu.
"I will help you on that mission, Nien Chu what is your goal right now?" ask Zhurui.
"I will go to the sky plain to look for the Nirvana lotus flower there, and after I get the Nirvana lotus flower then I will look for the 8th owner of the God symbol on his body," said Nien Chu.
"Not humans are allowed to enter the empire of the heavenly land, because there are only inhabited by elves" said Zhurui.
"You're right, I have prepared everything to enter the skyline empire. By using this necklace in my hand, I will become like a fairy, and there will be no elves there who will suspect me as long as the necklace is still attached to the body," said Nien Chu.
"Can I accompany you in search of the Nirvana lotus?" ask Zhurui.
After asking the academy's head for permission, Nien Chu finally set out with Zhurui towards the skyline's imperial territory.
The journey to the imperial region of the skyline, takes half a month to travel by horse, even if there are no obstacles on the way.
Now they both have reached the coast, precisely at the port to find a ship that will cross them both to the skyline.
"Uncle, where is the ship going to the skyline?" asked Nien Chu.
A moment the old man who was taking care of the rope of the ship stopped his activities, and stared at the two young men who were in front of him.
"Young man, no one ever asked to cross into the land of the sky, because man was not valued there so that the merchants and so forth never set foot there, he said, which makes the harbor of the sky plain completely untouched by human hands" replied the old man.
"Uncle, if we rent your boat to take us there, then we are ready to pay a high price" said Nien Chu back.
"Just look for another ship because I don't want to risk my safety, to get you there with just a few hundred gold coins" the old man replied.
"Tell me how many gold coins you want us to go there" said Zhurui, who began speaking.
"I've told you if I don't want to take you there, but if you want to wait then in 3 days there will be a ship that will take you there, the ship is special to deliver people like you to very dangerous places" said the old man.
"Okay uncle, we will both wait at this port until the ship comes" Zhurui said.
"If so I'll call you later if the ship has come, for a place to stay while waiting you can rent an inn at the end there," said the old man while pointing towards the building not far from them.
The two young men set foot into the inn, and it turned out that the state of the inn was so crowded with visitors, consisting of merchants and various cultivators of various levels.
"Zhurui, order food all rooms for us to stay overnight" said Nien Chu
"Alright, I will order it," Zhurui replied then left Nien Chu.
Nien Chu's gaze this time was fixed on the old figure who was sitting in the corner of the room, because the aura coming out of his body was so strong and concentrated.
"Who is the old man, it seems that the people in this room are so respectful to him, I cannot show that if I keep my eyes on the old man, in order not to have a difference of understanding with him," Inner Nien Chu.
Suddenly Nien Chu was startled by the call of the old man who was in the corner of the room, who had been noticed earlier
"Young man, I want you to accompany me to drink wine here, because no one else wants to drink with me" said the old man who was in front of Nien Chu, sipping the wine in his hand.
Nien Chu accepted the old man's invitation then poured wine in his own glass, then gulped it down.
After that conversation ensued between the two of them, and in the end Nien Chu knew that the old man was the commander of the soldiers, who were keeping the light imperial port alive.
"It is only fitting that his level of strength has been at the sacred realm, it turns out that he is a warrior commander guarding this place," Inner Nien Chu.
From afar Zhurui watched Nien Chu and the warrior commander, not wanting to disturb the two of them, Zhurui eventually went into the inn room he had rented to rest.
After a while of drinking wine with that warrior commander, Nien Chu finally gave his permission to go rest due to the fatigue from the long journey he had taken.
